07-23-84 agenda C TY OF RICHFIELD MINNESOTA I , Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 263 Agenda of July 23, 1984 a The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Year X CDBG Public Service Agreement with Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association - Dear Council Members: On May 14, 1984, the City Council approved the Year X Community Development Block Grant application. Included in this application was the use of $21,117 for the Sliding Fee Day Care Assistance Program administered by the Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association (GMDCA). To implement this funding allocation, the City and the GMDCA must enter into an agreement outlining the responsibilities of each agency. Attached for city council review and approval is a draft agreement. This agreement is similiar to the agreement currently in force with the following exceptions. 1. All references to Year IX have been changed to Year X. 2. The dollar amount has been changed to reflect the Year X amount of $21,117. 3. The maximum amount of charges the GMDCA can charge to offset their administrative costs has been increased from 7~ to 10%. GMDCA indicates that 12~ would be needed to recover all of their actual costs. The change would increase the dollar amount available for administrative charges from $1,478 to $2,112. This would leave $19,005 for day care assistance. This change has been approved by Hennepin County. - It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached ICI agreement and authorize the mayor and city manager to execute it on behalf of the city.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 262 Agenda July 23, 194 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield - Subject: Request for Special Use Permit at 6544 Portland Avenue South Council Members: PROPOSAL Mr. John Sief (Lyndale Hardware) has recently purchased the vacant service station property located on the northwest corner of 66th Street and Portland Avenue South. Mr. Sief has requested approval of a special use permit to allow him to operate an automotive tire and service center on the site. The proposed improvements on the site include the removal of the gasoline pump islands and the pump island canopy along Portland Avenue South. A 34 x 47 addition would be constructed on the north side of the existing building and the existing building would be upgraded. There would be five service bays, a storage area and a sales area within the building itself. Parking for 17 cars would be provided on the site. The site is zoned C-2 general commercial. City ordinances provide that any premises where vehicles are equipped for operation or are repaired are considered public garages. The C-2 zoning district regulations provide that public garages are allowed by special use permit. Staff has been unable to find any record of whether a special use permit was obtained for the existing service station on the site. ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS 1. Section 3.27, subdivision 3, paragraph 19 indicates that the proposed use would be a public garage. 2. Section 3.33, subdivision 2, paragraph 4 indicates that public garages are permitted in the C-2 zoning district only upon the procurement of a special use permit. 3. Section 3.33, subdivision 3, lists requirements for public garages. Council Letter No. 262 -2- Section 3.41, subdivision 5, outlines the conditions governing the issuance of special use permits. • STAFF REVIEW Upon reviewal of the proposal against the above mentioned conditions, staff has made the following finding: 1. The proposed public garage would be consistent with the city's comprehensive plan map. The comprehensive plan map indicates that the site should be developed as medium to high mixed land use which would include retail/wholesale and light industrial type uses. It is staff's belief that the proposed public garage would fall within these categories of uses. 2. The survey of the property completed for the applicant indicated that a portion of the site along 66th Street which is currently blacktopped and used as part of the service station use is, in fact, within the right-of- way of 66th Street. Further, the site plan shown indicates that the applicant would have eight parking stalls within this area. This presents some concern to city staff concerning liability, maintenance, and the potential future need by the city for this area. The liability and maintenance concerns could be addressed in a hold harmless type agreement between the property owner and the city. In such an • agreement, the city would be held harmless from any liability, maintenance, or other responsibilities within that area. The city's Capital Improvement Program indicates that the Portland and 66th Street intersection is to be improved in 1990. The City Engineer indicates that if the same type of improvements which have been constructed at other major intersections within the city are constructed at this intersection, a substantial portion, if not all, of the right-of-way adjacent to the site would be needed to construct those improvements. This presents a problem to the site because this would eliminate $ parking stalls. The proposed intersection improvement project has not been a high priority with Hennepin County and because of that, it has been continually moved back in the Capital Improvement Program. However, as other intersections are completed within the city, this low priority designation may change. Staff has discussed this issue with the architect for the property owner and he has indicated that there are alternative parking layouts possible to provide sufficient parking outside of the right-of-way area. • 3. The proposal should not result in undue traffic hazards or traffic conjestion on surrounding streets. The proposal indicates that the two curb cuts into the site Council Letter No. X62 -3- nearest the intersection would be closed which would, in fact, result in safer conditions at the 66th Street and Portland Avenue intersection. 4. The proposal would meet the city minimumiguidelines for the number of parking stalls provided on the site. However, observations made at similar types of uses have indicated, at times, that the city's minimum guidelines may not meet the actual need for parking on a particular site. The applicant has indicated that people wait for their cars on the site and are generally in and out within an hour. The cars are in the service bays so they are confident that adequate offstreet parking exists on the site. 5. A portion of 4 parking stalls would be within the corner visibility triangle for the 66th Street and Portland Avenue intersection. City staff does not believe that this would cause a major problem, however, because there would still be an open area provided immediately adjacent to the corner. Cars approaching from the west are on the opposite side of 66th Street and would not be obscured by the cars parked in the parking stalls. 6. The proposal would meet all other requirements for public garages. 7. The existing screen fence on the north and south sides of the site is in disrepair. While this fence is on the adjacent property, provision of proper screening is important. This fence should be repaired or a new fence constructed to screen the site from adjacent residential uses. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is staff's opinion that the proposed use would be an appropriate use on this particular site. Therefore, it is staff's recommendation that the special use permit to allow a public garage on the site be approved with the following stipulations: 1. That the property owner enter into a hold harmless agreement with the city which allows him to use a portion of the area within the right-of-way of 66th Street for parking, but which holds the city harmless from any liability and any maintenance responsibilities within that area. The applicant in that agreement should also agree to hold the city harmless for the costs of replacing the lost parking in other areas of the site, at such time as the right-of-way is required for intersection improvement or any other public purpose which may Council Letter No. 262 -4- arise in the future. (Staff believes parking should be allowed in the right-of-way area, with a hold harmless agreement, because the right-of-way is used for similar purposes by the owners of the other three corners of the intersection). 2. That no additional building expansion be allowed without prior city approval of an amended special use permit to insure that building expansion does not occur in areas needed for future parking if the city needs the right-of-way. 3. That the existing screen fence on the west and north sides be repaired or a new screen fence be constructed to screen the public garage use from adjacent residential uses, PLANNING COMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission on a 5-0 vote recommends that the special use permit be approved with staff recommended stipulations. RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION At the July 9, 1984 city council meeting, the city council continued this item to the July 23, 1984 city council meeting as they requested additional information about the potential need for additional right-af-way for future intersection improvements. • The city attorney's office has been negotiating with the developer to work out a right-of-way agreement, Information concerning this agreement will be available at the July 23, 1984 city council meeting.

The Construction of pedestrian ramps on sidewalks; 2. Miscellaneous curb and gutter and sidewalk repair; 3. A bus turn-out far the Community Center; • 4. Construction of sidewalk on the south side of 77th Street between Sheridan Avenue and Thomas Avenue. In 1981, the city council passed a sidewalk policy which called for the installation of sidewalk at various locations in the city and the provision of pedestrian ramps on all sidewalks that did not currently have pedestrian ramps. There are 219 pedestrian ramps to be installed. Municipal State Aid funds will be used to finance the pedestrian ramps. The majority of these ramps will be constructed on 66th Street, Nicollet Avenue, and Portland Avenue. The miscellaneous sidewalk curb and gutter repair is an ongoing program to maintain the city's infrastructure. The area for these repairs to occur this year is east of Nicollet Avenue. The scope of the work involves repairing sidewalk that may have been heaved up by tree roots or otherwise damaged, and the repair of settled or damaged curb and gutter. Funding for these repairs is included in the street division budget. The construction of the bus turn-out on 70th Street in front of the Community Center will provide space for the Community Center bus loading, unloading, and parking. Funding for this project will be provided by CDBG money. • At the May 14, 1984 city council meeting, the city council directed the staff to proceed with preparations for the installation of sidewalk on the south side of 77th Street between Sheridan Avenue and Thomas Avenue to connect two Council Letter No. 261 -2- existing sidewalks on Thomas Avenue and Sheridan Avenue. The staff has negotiated with Mr. Wolfenson, the owner of Century Court Apartments, to obtain the necessary right-of-way easement for the sidewalk. In exchange for the granting of the right-of-way easement, the city will pay for the ''construction of the sidewalk. Funding will come from the street division budget. The estimated cost for the one block of sidewalk on the south side of 77th Street is $4,300. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement of bids for City Project No. 795.

Respectfully submitted, John G. C twr ght City Manager JGC/eja • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 257 Agenda duly 23, 1984 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Proposed Street Widening, Traffic Control and Storm Sewer Improvements for 66th Street between York and Newton Avenues, C.P. 780 and C.P. 792 Council Members: At the June 25, 1984 city council meeting, the city council reviewed the proposed improvements to 66th Street from Newton Avenue to York Avenue. The city council requested that staff meet with representatives from Perkin's Restaurant to consider a change in the design to handle traffic by installing a traffic signal at 66th and Xerxes Avenue. Representatives from the Perkin's corporate offices are in agreement with city staff that the proposed layout designed by Hennepin County which does not include a signal at 66th and Xerxes, is an acceptable way of solving the traffic and safety problems on 66th Street. Staff now recommends that the council: 1. Adopt the attached resolution which endorses Layout 1A, the layout presented at the June 25 meeting; 2. Request Hennepin County to proceed with plans to upgrade 66th Street from York Avenue to France Avenue so that the storm sewer pipes to relieve the 66th and Xerxes Avenue intersection can be constructed; and, 3. Stipulate that there will be no parking allowed on 66th Street and on Penn Avenue except where the special parking bay is provided between 66th and 67th Street. Since the June 25, 1984, council meeting, the city staff has met with Jim Benshoof of Benshoof and Associates, a traffic consultant. Mr. Benshoof is a traffic engineer hired by Perkin's to investigate the impact of the improvement project on Perkins' Restaurant located at 66th Street and Xerxes Avenue. Mr. Benshoof concluded that the present design is the only way to effectively manage the intersection. Mary Ellen Summers, an attorney for the Perkin s Restaurant, who was at the last council meeting, concurred with the findings of Mr. Benshoof in a telephone conversation on July 9, 1984. Council Letter No. 257 -2- . At the June 25, 198 council meeting, staff explained how storm water run-off from Richfield will be taken to Sheridan Pond via an up-graded storm sewer system from Washburn and 66th Street. The Xerxes and 66th Street intersection will be drained to the west via a larger pipe, which will be installed from York to Xerxes Avenue as part of this project. The remaining link of the pipe between France and York Avenue will be installed when that section of roadway is upgraded. The attached resolution requests that the improvement of 66th Street from York Avenue to France Avenue be added to the Hennepin County Five Year Capital Improvement Plan. The engineers have made a more specific examination of the storm sewer improvements and the cost sharing formulas used by the FAU and Municipal State Aid. The exact cost split will depend upon the ratios of the street right-of-way on 66th Street to the total area drained by the system. In addition, the city will receive credits for storm sewers constructed by the city that eventually carry the water. It appears that of the $180,000 in storm sewer construction, the city will be responsible for approximately $70,000 of costs. However, credits for past storm sewer construction could reduce this amount. The final figures will be available when the plans and specifications are completed this fall. Staff recommends the adoption of the attached resolution, which includes the following items: 1. Approval of Layout 1A which includes a center fifth lane to function as a two-way left turn lane on 66th Street from Russell Avenue to Washburn Avenue with no signal at Xerxes Avenue; 2. Approval of the estimated $180,000 storm sewer and water control project involving Sheridan Pond; 3. A stipulation that no parking be allowed on 66th Street at Penn Avenue except on Penn Avenue from 66th to 67th Street on the west side where a separate parking bay is provided; 4. An official request that the improvement of 66th Street including storm sewer improvements from York to France Avenue be added to Hennepin County's Five Year Capital Improvement Program. Respectfully submitted, John G. Cartwr ht City Manager JGC/eja RESOLUTION N0. RESOLUTION APPROVING A DESIGN LAYOUT FOR C.P. 792, RECONSRUCTION OF 66TH STREET BETWEEN NEWTON AVENUE AND YORK AVENUE WHEREAS, preliminary design Layout 1A for the reconstruction of County State Aid Highway No. 53 (66th Street) between Russell Avenue and York Avenue has been reviewed by the City Council: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota: 1.

Mayor :1TTEST City Clerk PROPOSAL FROM THE SUB-COAiMITTEE TO CONSIDER COUNCIL-TERMS ANO ELECTION YEARS Proposal: To extend the terms of Mayor and Council Members to 4 years to coincide with Presidential and Gubernatorial election. The Mayor and At-Large Council Member would run in the same years. Rationale: 1. Save city money by not having off year elections. 2. Increase voter participation in city elections. There is a larger turn out of voters in State and-Federal Election years. 3. It would result in more stability in long range policy making, projects could be seen through to completion. 4. Longer terms would enable elected.city officials to consider city as a whole and depoliticize issues. Adjustments in Terms: See attached chart Mayor, 1985 two year term 1987 three year term 1990 four year term At-Larne, 1984 .three year term 1987 three year term 199Q four year term District Council members, 1985 three year term 1:88 four year term Essentially by 1988 the Cities election Schedules would be set. All Elected officials would start their four year terms at about the same tine. No term would change before 1987, which allows us ample time to discuss these changes and perhaps bring the issue to the voters if the changes became contraversial. All present agreed this proposal would be worthwhile to brine, back to the total Charter Commission.

Council Members: Mr. Gary W. Lawson, Business Manager, has made requests on f the Church of the Assum tion for the waiving of behalf o P certain license fees. The Church has applied for the following licenses: Fees 1. Itinerant Place of Amusement $112.00 2. Itinerant Food Service 56.00 3. Gambling (Bingo, raffle and other games of chance) 68.00 TOTAL $236.00 City ordinances require fees of $236.00 and certain bonds for these licenses to be obtained for the Church's Fun Fest, to be held the weekend of August 11 and 12, 1984. Mr. Lawson has i requested that all fees and bonding requirements be waived. This matter requires council consideration because staff has administratively denied the waiver of the fees. This denial occurred because the request does not meet the council policy adopted on April 12, 1982: "3. Only license fees for which no inspectional service is required will be considered for fee waiver". Inspections will be required under the food license since the Fun Fest provides a variety of perishable foods. Amusement and gambling activities would be inspected when complaints or problems arise. The Church presently has Restaurant and On-sale malt liquor licenses which were obtained earlier this year and for which the fees were waived. i I Council Letter No. 243 -2- • Because the request does not meet the requirements of the council policy, staff recommends the request for the waiver of fees and bonds be denied. ectful~y ~ itted,~ L Coil ohn G. art right City Manager JGC/eja • ~ ~ ~ Church of the Assumption 305 East 77th Street Minneapolis, Minnesota 55423 • 866-5019 City Council City of Richfield 6700 Portland Avenue South _ Richfield, Minnesota 55423 June 22, 1984 Dear Council Members: Attached are applications for Assumption Church's annual Fun Fest.

This bond issue will provide permanent financing for certain HRA costs associated with the Market Plaza redevelopment project. The bond sale is scheduled as follows: -Bid Opening: 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 31. -Special City Council Meeting: 12 noon, Tuesday, July 31. (At the special city council meeting the council will award the sale of bonds to the successful bidder). Two actions are necessary to proceed with the bond sale: 1. The HRA needs to consider and adopt a resolution determining the need for financing and requesting the city council to authorize the issuance of bonds to finance public redevelopment costs in the L/H/N redevelopment area. 2. The city council needs to consider and adopt a resolution providing for the issuance and sale of the bonds. Staff recommends these actions be undertaken for the reasons outlined below. Market Plaza Project Costs Pursuant to the commitments made by the City and the HRA through the Developers Agreement executed this spring, certain public costs have been, and will continue to be, incurred in order to facilitate the Market Plaza project. The expected costs are detailed as follows: HRA Letter No. 32 -2- Land acquisition, relocation, taxes $3,444,000* and special assessment Site improvements and soil correction 268,000 Demolition 110,000 Taxes and special assessments 124,000 Administration and legal expenses 375,000 Capitalized interest 1,279,000 Discount 110,000 Cost of issuance 40,000 Total $5,750,000 Because the acquisition costs for the land on the east end of the block will likely exceed $3 million, discussions will be undertaken with Market Plaza Corp. regarding its share of these excess costs. There are some significant changes in the July 2, 1984 tax increment bond issue plan from the preliminary plan submitted to the HRA in May of 1984. First, the writer has set forth below a comparison of the $5.15 million dollar tax increment bond issue as proposed in a communication from Evensen-Dodge on May 24, 1984 with the now recommended $5.75 million dollar tax increment bond issue with the data supplied from Evensen-Dodge on July 2, 1984. 5/24/84 7/2/84 Bond Issue $5,150,000 $5,750,000 Project Costs Discount $ 110,000 East End $2,550,000 $3,444,000 West End $ 821,000 $ - Soil & Site Preparation $ 268,000 $ 26$,000 Demolition $ 110,000 $ 110,000 Admin. & Legal $ 248,000 $ 375,000 Taxes & Spec. Assess. $ 0 $ 124,000 Cost of Issue $ 40,000 $ 40,000 Capitalized Interest $1,113,000 $1,279,000 $5,150,000 $5,750,000 HRA Letter No. 32 _3_ Listed below are some of the financial assumption changes since the preliminary information was prepared in May and the data now presented to the HRA: 1. The net interest rate has been changed from 9.82% to 10.13; 2. The final maturity date has been changed from the year 2002 to the year 2004, which means we are now proposing a 20-year bond issue rather than an 18- year bond issue; 3. The reinvestment rate on the temporary use of funds has been increased from 6.5~ to 7.5~; 4. The size of the bond issue has been increased from $5.15 million to $5.75 million dollars; 5. The May preliminary financial assumptions included in project costs $821,000 for recovering the city's cost of acquiring the west end site of the Godfather Block while the current bond issue omits this item because the city is unable to include this item and meet the tax increment financing requirements; 6. $124,000 in taxes and special assessments that will have to be paid by the city when land is acquired at the east end is included for the first time in the public cost; 7. In computing the cash flow analysis for July 2, 1984 Evensen-Dodge has included the increment anticipated from the Richfield State Agency development project and the Richfield Shoppes development project. A more complete report on the Market Plaza tax increment bond issue will be made at the HRA meeting of July 16, 1984. Financial Feasibility For the past several months, city staff has worked with Evensen-Dodge, Inc, on an on-going basis to make certain that the anticipated public financing associated with the Market Plaza project would be financially feasible. We have found that the project is financially feasible, using prudent assumptions concerning interest rates, the construction timetable for the project, and the tax increment to be received from the project. The tax increment capitalized interest and investment earnings will be sufficient to pay for all costs covered by the bond issue. Certain costs associated with the acquisition of the west end of the block (in the amount of $857,130) were financed through an earlier bond issue and will only be reimbursed from this bond issue to the extent that east end acquisition costs are less than presently expected. • Evensen-Dodge, Inc. has prepared a Presale Analysis (copy attached) which outlines all aspects of the public financing and HRA L^tt^r N ~2 -~-s -bond issue in detail. Council Members and HRA Commissioners should note that a cash-flow analysis was made for the entire L/H/N Tax Increment District as a part of this analysis. As stated on page two of the Presale Analysis, it is fully expected that the District will remain in a positive cash position and be self-supporting through the life of all bonds. Bond Issue The bond issue will be for $5,750,000 and have a term of 20 years. The net interest cost is presently expected to be 10.13%. Recommendation Based on the foregoing information, it is recommended that the HRA and City Council adopt the resolutions relating to the bond sale. Wayne Burggraaff anal Dan Eitheim from Evensen-Dodge will be present at the July 16th meeting to respond to questions. Re ectfu~ly ubmitted , John G. Cartwr ht Executive Director JCG/eja CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 241 Agenda July 16, 198 The Honorable Ma or Y and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Action Related to the Previously Approved IRB - Application for the Market Plaza Project Council Members: Approximately two years ago, the city council gave preliminary approval to the issuance of industrial development revenue bonds (IRBs) for the predecessor to the Market Plaza project. It is now proposed than an application .will be submitted to the State of Minnesota on July 18, 198 for its consideration. State approval would allow these IRBs to be _ issued outside of the dollar cap recently imposed by Congress, a significant advantage to the city. However, to make the application it is believed necessary'to comply with a recent State Law concerning employment priority for the economically disadvantaged. The adoption of the attached resolution prepared by the City Attorney's office would accomplish compliance with the state law. It is, therefore, recommended that the Council adopt-.the- attached resolution as presented so that the necessary application for iRBs cat3 be submitted. Respectf 1~ submitted, i u/ John G.
